Met part of our team 4:30am Sunday morning
Amy, Trinh, Libby, Debbie and me waiting for our 6am flight.
Libby, Debbie and Amy still looking fresh, even though
we are now on our flight to Korea for a 13 hour trip to Korea.
It was a huge plane and it was full.
We arrived in Cambodia after 11pm (10am Minn. time) They are 13 hour ahead of Minn. This is now Monday night. We were in bed at 12mn, in an air conditioned room. Then up at 6am to get ready for a full day of children's physicals.
The sights, sounds and people of Cambodia is unbelievable. So is the temperature. It was in the 90's today.
Frank, our only male, Amy and Libby decided to ride the coolest way!
We arrived to the small church to find out that the electricity was not working. Not that there was air conditioning, because it is open air, but the fans weren't working! I drank 5 bottles of water to keep hydrated.
We did physicals on some 50 children and also saw adults with different health concerns.
The thing that hit me the most was the amount of children with tooth decay and teeth missing. They have a poor nutritional diet and they eat lots of drinks with sugar in them. They were also small in size. A 12 year old looked like a 8 year old.
Karin listening to a child's heart sounds.
It will be an early 6am start tomorrow, Wednesday, with an even fuller day than today. So goodnight until next blog
